Limbiya Saaru (Seasoned Lemon Soup)

Limbiya Saaru is a very simple and old Konkani dish. In Konkani, limbiyo means lemon.This saaru can be prepared within 15 minutes, with less efforts. I tried it for the first time and liked it a lot. This saaru/soup has little sourness and hence I served this with rice and a spicy coconut based dish.
Lemon is rich in Vitamin C and has anti-cancer properties. Know more about it here. Enjoy making this easy-breezy saaru (soup).
